I want to have our address point automatically calculate the XY coordinates in decimal degrees whenever a new address point is created. The problem I am running into is that when I use the Geometry($feature).x/y function, it creates the point in the map coordinate system units, which is feet. Is there any way to force it to use decimal degrees? ... View more

I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but if you run the "Rebuild Address Locator" tool on a locator that is in your current instance of ArcGIS Pro, when the tool completes, the locator is completely removed from the current project and has to be re-added. If you run the tool by scheduling the GP tool, this does not happen. But if you have ArcGIS Pro open and rebuild the locator, it will be removed. Very annoying to have to constantly re-add the locator.  ... View more

I want to start keeping track of subdivision phases and boundaries in our parcel fabric. It is already published to the portal. I can't figure out how to add a new parcel type, however. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it on the portal version, so I figured that meant it needed to be done on the enterprise geodatabase side.  I stopped the service in portal, and ran the add new parcel type tool, but it tells me that I can't add a non-versioned feature class to a dataset with a versioned topology. So next, I unregistered the dataset as versioned and ran it again.  This time, I got the dreaded Error 999999. So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do from here. Any advice? ... View more

I receive a lot of CAD data for utilities for our local government. When I add a CAD file into ArcGIS Pro, it usually loads in fine, but in a practically unusable way. Here is an example: As you can see in the first picture there is a ton of large and awkwardly formatted text. If I look at this same file in DWG trueview, it does not look like this. The text is much smaller and doesn't overlap  itself. The second, and largest problem is that all of the cad layers are grouped together so you can't cut things off individually. I don't care about 90% of the things in this drawing. I am only interested in water line data. In DWG trueview, I am able to cut the various layers on/off as needed. But when adding the dwg to arcpro, it just lumps all the lines into one file, all the polygons in another, all the points in another, and all the text in another. There is no easy way to quickly toggle the individual layers on/off without diving in and doing definition queries on the layer. Is there an easier way to make this data usable? I don't have ~$2000/year to buy Autocad that allows you to export shapefiles easily. Any other alternatives?       ... View more
